A San Francisco newspaper offered $500
to the one who would correctly guess the
number of types in jar exhibited in the ex-
position there. Two men were successful,
naming the correct number-34, 200. How
they came to hit on that number is interest
ing. One of them once guessed the number
of shot in a jar about the same size as the
one containing the type. There were 90, 600.
He thought there were one-third as many
type as shot, and SO divided 5000 by three,
and, as he said, "added a little to make it

the jar and felt in his pocket for a pencil
with which to write number. He couldn't

without knowledge, even of the English
language, have course of three years, or in
some cases five, and are expected at the end
of that time not only to have fair common
school education, but to be competent me-

Pratt, to expect so much. Indians are not go

tain thinks they are learning ard doing all
that can fairly be expected of them. The
system of giving half the time to study and
half to mechanics is well adapted to their
needs, and they get knowledge of farming,
also, in their vacations, which most of
them spend on farms at places found for
them, where they earn their board and some

THACK ERAY.

ChfId,s RecoIlections of q Noble
Man.
[Henriette Corkran in Temple Bari
I was little girl of about seven years of
age when first recollect seeing Mr.. Thacke-
ray. We lived then in Paris (my birthplace),
as my father was the Paris correspondent of
several leading English newspapers. My
mothers evening receptions were very popu-
lar; her salon was a rendezvous where the
artistic and literary celebrities met in order
to converse. Conversation was at that peri
cd almost fine art; men and women $50
have been told, as was far too young to
judge) enjoyed causerie; and they knew how
to talk Amongst the many interesting peo-
pie who gathered round my father and moth
er, none made such a vivid impression on my
childish Imagination as Thackeray. He is
the central figure which stands out in bold
relief from the dim surroundings I can
distinctly recall the big white head, the spec
tacles, the rosy face and the sweet sunny
smile which positively illumined his coante-
nance and made it almost beautiful. gr ew
even to love the broad, broken nose, and
used to wonder how boy at any period
could have been SO wildly audacious as to
punch that feature. I wondered at the soft
ness and gentleness of his voice and manner,
and why SO great an author should care to
come amongst us little children in such a
simple, friendly way. He had a formidable
appearance, being over six feet and broad in
proportion. We children were like pilgrims
clustering around the knees of Brobdignag.
Mr.. Thackeray was our favorite giant. But
evidently he was not too tall or too great to
take an interest in our childish games. How
often has he sat amongst us inquiring ten
derly about my dolls. He remembered all
their names and had made out genealogical
tree, so that every poupee had distinct his
tory of her own
One late afternoon, after having told us
delightful stories, Mr.. Thackeray remarked
that he must leave US at once, he was 80 ter
ribly hungry. We coaxed him to remain,
and told him that we really could give him
good dinner.
"There is nothing, my dears, You can give
me-" he answered, with funny little sigh;
ssfor could only eat the chop of rhinoce-
ros or slice from an elephant"
Eyes tan" exclaimed my three-year-old
sister; we saw her disappear into big cup
| board. She emerged a few seconds after
with a look of triumph on her fat little face,
holding in her hands wooden rhinoceros
and an elephant from her Noah's ark, and
putting the new animals on a plate, she
| handed them with great gravity to Mr..
Thackeray. Never can forget the look Of
delight on the great mans face; how he
laughed and rubbed his hands with glee; and
then, taking the child up in his arms, kissed
| her, remarking: "Ah, little rogue, You al
| ready know the value of kissI"
Then he asked for a knife and fork,
| smacked his lips and pretended to deyour the
elephant and rhinoceros.

Pope Leo XIII. derives his revenue from
three sources. One is the interest of the vast
sum left by Plus TX. in the Pontifcal treasu-
ry, invested chiefly in English consols. This
interest amounts to about $685., 900 a year
Another source is the Peters pence contribu-
ton, which, in spite of very great reductions
in late years, averages about $415, 900 annu-
ally. The third source is the Apostolic
Chancery, the receipts of which include sums
received for titles and decorations, privileges
of the altar, private ehapels, ETC., and aggre'
gate about $500, 900 a year. The entire an
nual income of Leo XIII, therefore, is about

Were the Topics Discussed Again by
the West Seventh Street Citizens,
Union Last Night.
The West Seventh Street union met last
night at the A. o. U. w. hall, corner of
Seventh and Bay streets. The secretary
read petition to the council, setting forth
the information that the property owners
of the territory west of the short line tracks
desired a ferry across the Mississippi river
IN order to bring traffic to st. Paul, that
now was diverted to other sections: that
they had been pledged enough money to
build the ferry, and get'it ready for opera
ton, provided the city would operate it
when finished and make it free ferry.
This petition was adopted and will be pre-
sented to the council. Mr.. Bryant. of
Mendoza, was present, and he said that he
had found, through conversation with
farmers on his side of the river, that. al
though some of them were in favor of
pontoon bridge. still he believed that, if the
ferry was opened. particularly if market
house were established ON West Seventh
street. it would bring considerable trade to
st. Paul from Mendoza and the surrounding
country. Mr.. Bryant also presented a pc
tltlon from thirty residents of Mendoza,
Egan and huntsville, asking the council to
maintain free ferry. This petition was
accepted and will be sent in with the other.
The committee appointed to decide upon
suitable location for a market house was
not yet ready to report, and the matter was
lald over until future meeting.

STATE DAIRY INTERESTS.

Commissioner Howard Says That
the Dairy Laws Are Just What is
Wanted.
Dairy Commissioner Howard was at the
capitol yesterday very enthusiastic in his
belief that the commission has practically
killed out butteriRe and oleomargarine in
this state. He said that the cases against
dealers in the spurious butter, who had
been detected violating the law, would
come up for trial in the district courts
early in the coming terms. He did not
know just how many of these there were,
but said he felt confident that the state
could make good cases against the
dealers. The court of appeals in the state
OF New York. he said, had sustained the
points in the law which had been questioned
in this state. and he believed that the laws
in this state as they now stand were about
all that could be desired. Three laws
have now been enacted" said the commits
sioner. Ito protect our butter. They are in
just about the shape that our experience in
the last two years showed they should be.
and our dairy interests are now well pro-
tected. We make too much butter. We
make more than we can handle. and if we
can only arouse our farmers to make cheese
the dairy of the state will be all that could
be desired"
